Duarte Elite Flag Football – Academy & NFL FLAG League
The Duarte Elite Flag Football Academy and our official NFL FLAG League work hand-in-hand to give youth athletes the best possible introduction and pathway in the game of football—taught in a safe, non-contact format.
Our Academy focuses on skill development, teaching the fundamentals of football while building teamwork, discipline, and confidence in a positive, encouraging environment. Through training sessions and organized scrimmages, players sharpen their abilities, learn game concepts, and gain valuable on-field experience. Whether your child is brand new to the sport or already plays, we provide a structured, fun way to grow as an athlete.
Players in the Academy also have the chance to take the next step by joining the Duarte Elite NFL FLAG League. As part of the largest youth flag football program in the country, league participants can compete locally and earn opportunities to play in regional NFL FLAG tournaments, as well as other major events like HARD COUNT competitions.
Join us to develop skills, compete at a high level, and experience the excitement of the game.

Summer Season Updates
As many of you know, we’ve decided to push back our inaugural season to allow additional time to build registrations and ensure a great experience for all athletes. We’ve recently concluded discussions with our league partners and wanted to provide an update.
Our tentative league schedule is as follows:
Summer Season 1: June 7 – June 28
Summer Season 2: July 12 – August 2
These dates are now reflected on the NFL FLAG League Finder site for Duarte Elite.
To make the season efficient and family-friendly, we have condensed the schedule, with teams playing two back-to-back games each Sunday. Games will take place between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM throughout the summer at Otis Gordon Park or Encanto Park in Duarte.
We are also offering a substantial Early Bird discount of $100 for families who register early:
Early Bird Deadline (Season 1): April 12
Early Bird Deadline (Season 2): June 7
In addition, the Duarte Elite Football Academy Training will begin five weeks prior to the start of the season. These training sessions will be hosted by league partners and affiliates and will be free for all registered league members. Sessions will take place at least twice per week to help athletes build skills and prepare for the season.
Team practice schedules will ultimately be set by each team’s coach, though we will encourage practices to take place prior to Sunday game days whenever possible.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. We’re excited about the momentum we’re building and look forward to a great inaugural season.
Thank you all for your continued support!
